b Syaoran's POV b
I was reading a magazine of new martial arts techniques in my room. I was pretty bored, until my mother suddenly barged into my room.
"Xiao-Lang! I have news for you. Sit up straight and listen to me, son..." My mother, Yelan said as she sat down in my room.
I did as I was told and by the look of her expression, I could tell that this 'news' was good enough to listen to. "Yes, what, mother?" I asked.
"I was just speaking to a dear friend of mine in Japan who is going to come live here in Hong Kong...I have arranged your marriage with their daughter, Xiao-Lang."
"What!? Mother, don't I have any say in this?!" I asked, angrily.
"Calm down, Xiao-Lang. Of course you have say in this, my friend's daughter has some doubts as wells as you do. We're going to see if this works out, and if not...then we'll cancel the engagement. But, Xiao-Lang, you know that there has to be someone to uphold the Li family name." She said.
I couldn't believe it. She had already arranged my marriage with someone? But to whom? "Mother, to whom will I be engaged to?" I asked, curiously.
"Oh...You have heard of Kinomoto Sakura, have you not? The model who's famous in Asia?"
"WHAT!? Kinomoto Sakura!? You are planning to let me get married to her!?" I asked, getting anxious.
"I take it that you're a fan of hers. Especially since you have this poster in your room." My mother said while pointing to a poster of Sakura in a long skirt and a tube top, holding a parasol.
I felt my cheeks burning with red and all I kept on thinking was, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God. They want me to marry Sakura? The one that everyone's after?
"Is anything wrong, Xiao-Lang? "
"N-No, nothing's wrong, Mother." I replied, stammering.
"Well anyway, they're coming here tomorrow. They already left and is heading here right now. Please make this work, Xiao-Lang. I don't want this to end up like your previous engagement with Meiling. Just...think about, okay?" My mother asked as she left the room.
Kinomoto Sakura...? ...Hey...She was in my dreams! But that can't be right, that's just coincidental... Oh forget, it was just a dream. I'll worry about it later...But I can't believe this...Me? With Sakura? Oh God...All of them are going hate me now...
But does Sakura even wanna marry me? What if she thinks that I'm nothing to her...? I laid on my bed staring at the poster I bought. Gee...she's so pretty...Oh God, I don't even think I'M ready for this...My heart's pounding...

A day later...
Sakura's POV
We finally got to Hong Kong, and I gotta admit that I'm really impressed of how it has so much beauty...Just like Tomoeda, but no sakura blossoms which made me sad. But I was anxious to meet Li Syaoran in person...My heart's racing, and I could tell that Tomoyo-chan was just so eager to meet him as well.
"Mama, where are we staying?" I asked as all of us were walking down the sidewalk.
"We have a house already, Sakura...," Faye said as she put her hand on my shoulder. "You're gonna love it here...It'll remind you of Japan except without the sakura blossom trees..,"
"I know..." I said, somewhat depressingly.
"It's okay, Sakura-chan. At least there are so many places to look at...And I wanna look at your fiancee too," Tomoyo said.
"Oh, Tomoyo, we can't go butting in someone else's business," Sonomi said.
"Oh it's alright, Sonomi-sama," Faye said. "She can see. She is Sakura's best friend, and as expected she will most likely be the maid of honor," She said.
Sonomi laughed. "I guess you're right...," She walked up to her daughter. "I will be at the hotel, Tomoyo. Call me up in my cell and I'll send someone to go get you," She said.
"Hai, mom!" Tomoyo said.
"Be good, Tomoyo! See you later!" Sonomi waved as she walked down the street.
"Alright then! Let's meet the Li family, then settle in our brand new home!" Fujitaka said.
"Alright!" Tomoyo and I exclaimed.

3rd POV
"Xiao-Lang! She's here!" Wei screamed through the halls.
"Okay!!" He started walking to the front of his house, and Wei opened the gate. There, it revealed Kinomoto Sakura and her family. Syaoran stopped and blushed at how pretty she looked. "H-Hi...," He stammered.
Sakura looked away. "Hi..," She said.
"Faye! Oh Faye, you're here!!" Yelan said while running to the front gate. "I can't believe it! It has been so long!" She exclaimed.
"Yes it has, Yelan! Well, here is my stepdaughter, Kinomoto Sakura...," Faye presented.
Yelan observed her. "Wow, you are beautiful, Sakura...," Yelan said.
"T-Thank you...," Sakura stammered. "But...I hope beauty doesn't matter that much...," She added.
"Oh not at all...Right, Xiao-Lang?" Yelan turned to Syaoran.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah...I think...," He said while blushing.
Sakura laughed softly. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you," She bowed her head.
"And you too, Sakura...," Yelan said. Yelan looked at Syaoran and nudged him.
Syaoran sighed. "You too," He said.
"Well, let's not stand around here for the whole day! Let's go inside, shall we?" Yelan asked.
"Sure!" Faye and Fujitaka said. Tomoyo followed after.
"And who might you be?" Yelan asked.
"Oh, I'm Sakura's best friend who has also moved to Hong Kong because of my mother's business. My name is Daijouii Tomoyo," She stuck her hand out and Yelan shook it.
"You're a Daijouii? You must be lucky! One of the best known families in Asia," Yelan.
"Yeah, but we're not as famous like Sakura's family and yours, that's for sure," Tomoyo said. They all walked inside, leaving Sakura and Syaoran alone.
"So...We're...," Sakura started.
"...Supposed to get married...," Syaoran finished.
"Yeah," She said.
"Kinomoto Sakura...You're a teen sensation in Japan, am I right?" He asked.
"Well not really...I just model like my stepmother," She said.
"And your best friend is Daijouii Tomoyo? Isn't she the singer in Japan?" He asked.
"Yup...," She replied.
"Gee, 3 well known families....And 2 that wants their kids to get married,"
"From the sound of your voice, I don't think you want to get engaged with me," She said.
"...Do you?" He asked.
"...I'm not sure. I've had many boyfriends, but I never expected an arranged marriage. I'm not even-" She started.
"In love with me?" He asked.
"Well...," She turned away. "Gomen nasai...Syaoran," She said.
"Well...," He scratched his head.
"Demo...I'm willing to give you a chance. You seem like a nice guy...I just need to get to know you," She said.
"Alright...," He said.
"But, um...,"
"What?"
"Are you...Well you know," She started blushing.
"In love with you?" He asked.
"Well...Yes," She said.
"You're very pretty, I gotta admit. But judging how many magazine articles I've read about you, you don't like it when guys only see your outer self," He said.
"You...Read about me?" She asked.
"Aw come on, Sakura! Every guy here in China wants to marry you!" He exclaimed.
"Is that so? Well then...I take it that you're a fan of me?" She asked.
"Number 1...Hee hee," He laughed.
"I knew you were a player, Syaoran, heh-heh!" She laughed.
"Hey what is that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"Oh nothing. Just forget it," She said, walking past him. "Let's go...,"
"Okay. But, you gotta tell me why you think I'm a player," He said while folding his arms.
"Will a date satisfy you? So you won't answer anymore questions?" She asked confronting him.
"Well, um...," He stammered while turning red. "I thought that you weren't-"
"In love with you?" She finished. "Well, I don't really mean to say that, Syaoran. This is just the beginning, and if this is an arranged marriage, we better get to know each other like that," She snapped her fingers. "Got it?" She asked while holding his arm.
"Y-Yeah!" He exclaimed.
"Good!" They started walking out the gate, and everyone was watching from afar.
"Those two are really pulling it off!" Tomoyo said while recording it on camera.
"This is good, then if they really do fall in love with each other, they won't hold any grudges against us, "Faye said.
"Right...," Yelan said as she watched her son walk off with Sakura. "Don't drive her away, Xiao-Lang...We're counting on you to uphold the family...." She thought.
"Yelan...By the look on your face...You should say that he will do alright," Faye said.
"Aw, Faye...There you go again!" Yelan said while crossing his arms. She stared at Faye. "Reading minds like that...," She muttered.
"Yelan, I'm sorry! But you gotta think for the best!" Faye exclaimed.
"What are you guys talking about?" Fujitaka asked.
"Oh nothing!" They both chimed.
**
"So you've been training ever since you were young?" Sakura asked while putting her drink down.
"Yeah, with my cousin, Meiling. We were supposed to get married as well, but it didn't turn out as well...," He said.
"I see," She said.
"Your mom is very young...," He commented.
"Yeah, she's only in her late 30's," She said.
"And you're 17?" He asked.
"My real mom died when I was really young so I didn't know her as much...But then my dad remarried to Faye, I was happy about it. She's really caring and loving," She said.
"And she introduced you into the fashion world of being a model?" He asked.
"Well, yeah," She said.
"That's cool...I'm sorry about your other mom though...My dad died when I was born and I didn't get to meet him either," He said.
"Oh I'm sorry," She said.
"It's okay. At least I knew I had a dad who took care of my mom...," He said.
"So you're not the type of person I'd expect you would be, Syaoran," She said.
"What does that mean? You stereotyped me?" He asked.
"Kinda...I'm sorry, but every famous person I meet is so stuck up," She said.
"That's okay...," He said.
"Oh my God, it's Sakura from Japan!!" One boy screamed from the crowd.
"And isn't that Xiao-Lang!?!?" One girl screamed.
"Oh no...," Syaoran whispered while getting up. Soon a big crowd started to go near them, asking for autographs. "Please, I can't sign autographs now!" He exclaimed.
"Me neither!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Go on a date with me!?" One guy shouted, getting close to her. He held her, and she tried to get away. "Get away, please...," She whispered.
"Only if you would go on a date with me and become my girlfriend," He said, trying to place his lips on hers.
"Hey!! Get off of her!" Syaoran pushed the guy off, and turned to Sakura. "You okay?" He asked.
"Yes...," She said.
"Let's get out of here," Syaoran sneaked by the crowd, holding Sakura's hand. They ran off and the crowd still followed them. "Sakura...I am...so...sorry!" He panted while running.
"It's okay, this happens all the time back in J-Japan!" She said while running. "Where are we going, Syaoran?" She asked.
"A place that no one knows about!" He said. They turned at a slight corner, and the crowd was slowly catching up. He held her waist and jumped up so high that they landed on a rooftop of a building.
"Hoe!? H-How did you jump so high, Syaoran!?" She asked, walking away.
"I have many things to explain to you...," He said. "Please don't be scared of me, Sakura...," He said.
She stared into his eyes. "I'm not scared...Just explain to me later...," She said.
"Sure...," He scratched his head. "This was sure a lousy date," He said.
"Tell me about it," She commented. "But...I'm actually glad to spend time with you," She said.
"You are?"
"Yup. Maybe this won't be so bad after all, Syaoran," She said.
"Yeah." He held her shoulder and they looked down at the crowd looking frantically for the two sensations.

"Okay!!" He started walking to the front of his house, and Wei opened the gate. There, it revealed Kinomoto Sakura and her family. Syaoran stopped and blushed at how pretty she looked. "H-Hi...," He stammered.

"Yes it has, Yelan! Well, here is my stepdaughter, Kinomoto Sakura...," Faye presented.
Yelan observed her. "Wow, you are beautiful, Sakura...," Yelan said.
"T-Thank you...," Sakura stammered. "But...I hope beauty doesn't matter that much...," She added.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah...I think...," He said while blushing.
Sakura laughed softly. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you," She bowed her head.
"And you too, Sakura...," Yelan said. Yelan looked at Syaoran and nudged him.
